If the government can provide some skills acquisitions as you have mentioned create job opportunities to their citizens both graduates and undergraduates i know there is no way it come get everybody but it will come how reduce the rate of of addicted gamblers in the country, been idol is not very good when occupy with some work your rate of gambling will definitely reduced.
But not all gambling addicts are people without jobs or who aren’t earning enough. It really depends on a person’s attitude and how they handle their emotions as even if you have a stable job, if you let yourself fall into addiction, you’re not exempt, you’ll still face the consequences.
Banning gambling just affects everyone, even the responsible ones. That’s not the right way to deal with it.
Why punish those who gamble responsibly just because others can’t control themselves?
